These legislative changes implement paragraph (a) of P.139/2020, namely to establish an Assembly of 49 Members, 37 elected from 9 new districts of comparable population size, plus the 12 Parish Connétables. The Privileges and Procedures Committee (“PPC”) has resolved to bring this to the Assembly in 2 tranches. Drafting and consultation is ongoing to make all of the necessary changes to the various pieces of legislation which underpin the election system stemming from paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of P.139/2020, but the revisions to the constitution contained within this proposition are fundamental to those other legislative changes which will be debated in the next few months.

Jersey & Guernsey Law Review
Jersey & Guernsey Law Review – June 2010 THE CUSTOMARY LAW IN RELATION TO THE FORESHORE (2) Richard Falle and John Kelleher The second part of an extended article on the customary law in relation to the foreshore. The first part of the article (June 2008 edition) focussed on the connection between continental Normandy and the Islands, through their shared custom, in relation to the law as to the foreshore. It argued that according to the custom the foreshore was presumed to be parcel of the adjacent terra firma and accordingly parcel of a maritime fief. It concluded that the Duke of Normandy had no general claim to the foreshore and, barring certain limited ducal privileges, it formed part of the seigneurial regime and its ownership lay in private hands. The second article focuses on custom and practice in Jersey from 1204 to the present day to illustrate the law and use of the foreshore. The article reviews a range of evidence from the records of individual fiefs, 13th century enquiries undertaken in Jersey on behalf of the Crown, disputes over the foreshore, the views of customary writers and use of the foreshore ranging from varech, vraic, essiage, pescheries and the collection of salt. It also examines the changing attitude of the Crown to ownership of foreshore in Jersey and the genesis of the Crown’s claim to it. It concludes with the case of Les Pas Holdings Ltd and its claim to a private title in a significant part of the St. Helier seafront. Introduction 1 In the first part of this article we demonstrated a close connection between continental Normandy and the Islands through their shared custom.1 According to that custom the foreshore was presumed to be parcel of the adjacent terra firma and accordingly parcel of the maritime fief.

The Population and the People of Jersey
The population and the people of Jersey Brian Blench Published in Norois. N°54, 1967. Avril-Juin 1967. pp. 227-239. Translation from the original French First Part. Before 1806 I Pre-history and protohistory There are no studies that deal only with the population of Jersey and the more general ones usually study it only for recent periods. Accurate and reliable figures can be obtained from census records that began in 1811; these increased in accuracy throughout the 19th century. A local census was held in 1806 and is mentioned below. In the period leading up to 1800, most of the information concerning the population came mainly from estimates made by contemporary or modern authors. I have tried, in this paper, to bring together these disparate observations, to compare them and to try to establish their veracity, especially with regard to the high density of the population, a characteristic feature of the demographics of the island since at least the end of the Middle Ages. With regard to prehistoric settlement on the island, studies to date have been limited to the location and location of sites (1) and no analysis similar to that of Mathiassen in Denmark [2] has yet been attempted. Hawkes's study on the archaeology of the island brings together all the research before 1937, while the more recent works are, for the most part, confined to the re-examination of some ancient sites and the discovery of some new sites. The complete description of the prehistoric settlement is relatively simple, as it is restricted to a narrow strip along what is now the island's coastline.
